if that bum lost or is struggling, at least i can just drop the series
Everything not involving the straw hats this arc has been fire.
Oda wants to make the strawhats under dogs, but instead of giving them a serious obstacle he's just making them bums. Why is Sanji running away from vice admirals? Would Queen do that? Why is Zoro being pushed to extreme diff with Lob Luci? Could Luci push King or Oden like that? Why is Luffy getting wiped after fight Kizaru? He fought Kaido all night.
This doesn't feel like a Yonko crew. It feels like a crew of frauds.
